Quotes from Peter J Pirie, The English Musical Renaissance, Gollancz, 1979 English Musical Renaissance. David Lloyd Jones has the full measure of this music his ongoing Bax cycle for Naxos has been earning constant praise. His reading is a model of consistency, neatly following the composer's train of thought, and he neither overdoes not underplays the big climaxes. Yet, there is much to enjoy, as in 'The tale the pine trees knew' which fills up this disc. The Tale the Pine Trees Knew, tone poem for orchestra.

Stephen Gunzenhauser: Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra. David Lloyd-Jones - Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Album Summary. Whereas Thomson has Summer Music, Lloyd-Jones offers The Tale the Pine Trees Knew, a more interesting and substantial work. In general this Naxos issue offers tauter, livelier performances than does Thomson, and this prevents the music from degenerating into a typically shapeless Baxian blob, as it has a tendency to do, particularly November Woods and The Garden of Fand. Lloyd-Jones has the measure of the music. The disc begins with Tintagel, Bax's depiction of the rocky precipice on the Cornish coast reputed to be the birthplace of the legendary King Arthur. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra RSNO is Scotland's national symphony orchestra. The orchestra has performed full-time since 1950, when it took the name Scottish National Orchestra. It continued to use the name 'Scottish National Orchestra' until 1991 when it briefly used the title Royal Scottish Orchestra before changing to its present name. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, conducted by David Lloyd-Jones, recorded these tone poems in various sessions between 1995 and 2002, but their interpretations are consistently lush and vibrant, and the sound of this 2005 release is well-adjusted between tracks, despite changes of venue. To avoid accidental duplication, though, collectors should note that these recordings were previously released by Naxos on CDs of Bax's symphonies.
